Caravaggio

(1986) dir Derek Jarman w/Tilda Swinton, Nigel Terry, Sean Bean, Michael Gough, Robbie Coltrane [93 min; 35mm]
Swinton’s feature film debut comes in Derek Jarman’s heavily fictionalized and gorgeously stylized version of the life of Baroque painter Caravaggio. This film marked the beginning of a collaboration between Swinton and Jarman that lasted until his untimely death in 1994.
